Daniel 3:27 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:27

And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's
counsellors, being gathered together
Either by the order of the king, or of their own accord, to see the miracle that was wrought: saw these men;
saw them walking in the furnace, saw them come out of it at the king's call, and saw them when they were out, and examined them thoroughly; so that they had ocular demonstration, full proof and conviction, of the truth of what was done: upon whose bodies the fire had no power;
to blister, scorch, burn, and consume them, as it has usually over the bodies of men, or any creature: nor was an hair of their head singed;
which is easily done with the weakest flame; and this must be understood of the hair of their eyebrows and beards also; see ( Luke 21:18 ) : neither were their coats changed;
neither the substance, nor form, nor colour of them, but were just as they were when cast into the furnace; the same holds good of all their other garments, their interior ones, with their turbants, shoes, and stockings: nor the smell of the fire had passed on them;
as will upon persons that stay at any time in a place where there is much fire and smoke; and especially where much combustible things are burnt, as pitch, sulphur, and the like, as in furnaces; and very probably in this, which had been so vehemently heated; and yet there was no smell of it on their garments; all which serve to make the miracle the more wonderful.

Daniel 3:27 In-Context

25 Respondi贸 茅l y dijo: He aqu铆 que yo veo cuatro varones sueltos, que se pasean en medio del fuego, y ning煤n da帽o hay en ellos: y el parecer del cuarto es semejante 谩 hijo de los dioses.
26 Entonces Nabucodonosor se acerc贸 谩 la puerta del horno de fuego ardiendo, y habl贸 y dijo: Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, siervos del alto Dios, salid y venid. Entonces Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, salieron de en medio del fuego.
27 Y junt谩ronse los grandes, los gobernadores, los capitanes, y los del consejo del rey, para mirar estos varones, como el fuego no se ense帽ore贸 de sus cuerpos, ni cabello de sus cabezas fu茅 quemado, ni sus ropas se mudaron, ni olor de fuego hab铆a pasado por ellos.
28 Nabucodonosor habl贸 y dijo: Bendito el Dios de ellos, de Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, que envi贸 su 谩ngel, y libr贸 sus siervos que esperaron en 茅l, y el mandamiento del rey mudaron, y entregaron sus cuerpos antes que sirviesen ni adorasen otro dios que su Dios.
29 Por m铆 pues se pone decreto, que todo pueblo, naci贸n, 贸 lengua, que dijere blasfemia contra el Dios de Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, sea descuartizado, y su casa sea puesta por muladar; por cuanto no hay dios que pueda librar como 茅ste.
